OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THFA POLU'S—Lionel Atwill. “The king can do no wrong" sounds the important note of authority in the new play for Lionel Atwill. The infallibility that attaches to kings cannot bhe trans’erred to authors. stage managers and actors. Mr. Atwill has a soaring versatility differs entirely from its sor. His play “The Adventurer” w classic travesty keyed down rather ancient Anglo-S: humor.

E core followed encore and she fin: managed to close with a little recita- tion. The remainder of the bill is excep- tionally entertaining, the work of Ruiz and Bonita, the dancers, assisted hy Gel-Mann's Novelty Quartet, prob- ably being the hest. Every member of the company did what was allotted to him with gratifving cleverncss. “Wee"” Georgie Wood appeared in a taking sketch of a child raised from wverty to riches. Billy Hallen hasn't nen here for several years and his new stories and songs stamped him as a comedian of great originality. ‘‘Hap” Farnell, assisted by Florence, had the | audienc ughing heartily throughout their a Brown and Lahart opened the bill with ational rolle. ing, and Dick N: and Billy McIntyre followed with clever dancing and rope spinning. Pallenberg’s Bears showed astonishing tricks and the regular house attractions filled out the uni- formly interesting program. GAYETY—“Nothing But Girls.” Frank X. Silk, one of the best known comedians of the Columbia Circuit, re- turns with his new revue, “Nothing But Girls,” to Mr. La Motte's Gayety Theater. for a week's stay. Silk, with his partner in slapstick, Charles Cole, carry the burden of the comedy scenes, which, for the most part, are new and thoroughly enjoy- ble. Both Silk and his partner are &m tramp type comedians and kept e audience in good humor all through the show. Others in the male Une-up are Earl Root, who acts more or less as master of cerem nies, and J. Carlos, who with his partner Rita execute very good tango and apache dances. | ‘The feminine contingent 18 headed | by Elaine Beaslee, a comely miss, who has a good voice. Her two best num- bers are “Street of Forgzottan Souls” and a specialty. Adele Lowis is a ver- satile bit of femininity, who sings and dances her way through the show, while JRlonde Billie Lamant also d TERS lights With her songs and dances, her a ol w umber, s unu g and nimble and the Miecw perios i (e dance num 8. announced last night © would be no more dramas on the Goavety stage.

This attraction is in two big acts with 16 scenes and 18 musical and dancing numbers. The ensemble of 16 girls is led by both Flossie De Vere, the sprigh:ly soubrette, and Lillian Kaye, the ingenue. ‘Walter Mack, a newcomer to Mu- tual burlesque, demonstrated his abil- ity to dance and entertain. Frank Anderson kept the action of the plece at the proper pace in his own indi- vidual way. The scenic effects and cnstuming of hoth the principals and chorus are especially good. Taken altogether, “Parisian Flappers” is a good entertainment. FOX—"“Loves of Carmen.” Introduction here of the Sunday af- ternoon theater concert is proving a popular attraction, judging from the attendance at the Fox yesterday.

Give him five hours, and he can knock out a cold that would have prevented his singing THE EVENING wide commendation for the musical attractions presented as a part of the Sunday show. The theater’s symphony orchestra, under the direction of Adolphe S. Kornspan, yesterday of- ‘ered a rich program of melody. Prin- cipal among the selections were those of a classical nature, while popular numbers served to keep the program at an even keel for the general lover f music. This program is an inno- vation in local theater events and de- serves the sincere support of all those who find good in music, that ecstasy which removes temporarily, at least, from a world of materialism. The con- certs are worthy, they are pleasing and they are a welcome feature in a day that usually offers so little in the way of wholesome e nment.

To single out a more admirable example of film excellence would entail a long seacch into the history of motton picture production Produced in France and interpreted entirely by a cast selected from the most celehrated players of the French stage, this stupendous picture has been produced with absolute fidelity to the classic stos Much of the photo- sraphic work was done on the exact locations indicated by the author. Vie- tor Hugo's memory is held in such reverential esteem in France that none but a faithful reproduction would have been tolerated by the people of his native land. The high caliber of acting and the sustained excellence with which the story is handled from a directorial and scenic standpoint at- test a sincere desire on the part of the producers to create a film com mensurate with the greatness of the original story. Any attempt to appraise the picture must revert, as in the case of the book, to its transcendent theme. It is the story of a soul in transition. It por- trays the reaction of a man subjected to contrasting tempers of human treatment, cruel injustice and suprema kindness.From the sordid_state of rst Page.) o Pape's i d to Col one note.
